Hi! > there is a flat file db with an sql interface for php .. > if we write a driver for it then we would be all set. Basically I find this a quite nice idea, but I have two thoughts on this. The problems I see here: 1) Instead of a db access you would need a directory to write data to anyway, so something has to be configured even with a flat file db only. 2) The flat file db would have to support quite a lot of SQL. By using a flat file db, PEAR packages would depend on the features it provides to fulfill the tests. But, to be fair, I have not been looking yet at what is provided by the mentioned system.
